    Hi Anita,

    I don’t think I expressed that kind of worry all the time. You said a spark can be turned off for no particular reason. I hope that is not the case though, haha

    Hi Anita,

    You mean could this (me caring/worrying about her safety) be the reason to the lost of spark? I don’t feel this was it though, like I cannot understand why this will be, if this was it. You get what I mean? Like isn’t it normal to want your loved one to be safe? And it’s not as though we didn’t spend time together despite our busy schedules nearing exams, just cutting down a little for that exam period that’s all. Sigh…

    Hi neversaynever,

    I really do hope I get the second shot, I wish it would be so simple. You said I was kind of all over her. Yes, that’s accurate partly because it’s my first, partly because I was really impressed by her, extremely down-to-earth, not materialistic, no princess-y attitude, etc. I don’t think I was too needy though.

    I am always being myself (which might be bad since I am always treating people nicely and extra nice to important people) but yea, now it’s just fun bantering whenever I have the opportunity to talk to her.

    Hi Anita,

    1) There were times when it’s like 2+am and her friends were at her place. She being the nice person, offered to send them all of them home even though she’s not obliged to and it’s out of the way. Then there’s me, worrying about her safety because she just passed her driving back then and it was already so late. I told her I don’t feel like there is a need for her to send them back because it’s pretty convenient for them to take a taxi home. However she insisted on sending them back because she didn’t want them to spend the extra money on the cab fare and assured me she will be wide awake behind the wheel. I could have gone on to say how worried I’ll feel but I decided to not continue further and told her to update me when she has reached back safely.

    I can’t really recall other instances for now, but will update again if it comes to my mind.

    With regards to childhood experience with aggression, there weren’t any instances of heated arguments or fights, just minor disagreements with family members and friends, nothing too serious, usually resolved on the same day? It’s just my nature to resolve things asap and not let it affect the relationship I have with them.

    Hi Anita,

    I don’t think it’s the fear, I think it’s more of just preventing it. We had a few casual conversations while we were together and we had the same opinion regarding arguments and quarrels: if we can give in to each other whenever we can, why would we want to disrupt the peace? I mean, nobody likes arguments and quarrels, there’s no peace at all when it happens.

    Regarding the part “you were careful to not cause her irritation, very cautious- avoiding any possible conflict, maybe being passive, submissive, maybe limiting the communication with her to light, superficial topics. It could be in that limiting, that she lost the spark. Maybe she wanted deeper conversations. Maybe she tried deeper topics but you avoided them.”, I don’t think I was careful/cautious/passive/submissive because I speak what’s on my mind, open and honest to her.

    I am not too sure what you mean by deeper topics, but I’ll just carry on typing (correct me if I’m wrong). I do talk to her and it can be about anything. There were times when we spoke about the memorable experiences before we knew each other, how those experiences (such as assuming a leadership role) has changed our mindsets and perspectives of certain stuff in life. I always mentioned this to her and my friends: Like looking back, how a decision we made have led to chain reactions, how it has allowed us to meet, how it has gotten us to where we are now (individually and together). Of course, there are too many conversations to list, but yea, these are some of the few conversations (If this is what you meant by deeper conversation topics)

    Hi Anita,

    A big fuss like keep pestering her for another try, clinging on like a pest to the point she might get irritated. She has never gotten irritated with me before because there wasn’t any reason to, she didn’t have a chance to.

    With regards to the 1 or 2 instances, I’m pretty sure others have experienced it at some point, which is having disagreements in the car over which route is correct, which route to go and stuff like that. Of course, when that happened to us, we were quiet for the rest of the whole journey. But before getting out of the car, I knew it was something that should be resolved because it’s just something very minor.

    Hi Anita,

    Ugly in the sense I didn’t want to make a big fuss out of it, convincing her to not give up on us yet till the point she gets irritated.

    They were referring the “selfish” part as like she didn’t want to try at all to rekindle the dwindling spark, but merely she just wanted to feel single and see how life will treat her without me.
